Why should you PvP?

What better way to show off yours skills against other players. Wandering through the lands, searching for a worthy opponent. Test your skills and reaction time and see who comes out on top.PvP especially duels can be a great way of learning in a nice way how to deal with each class in Tera. It also can help you learn how to play your character using abilities that sometimes sit in your spell book unused.

Duel

A duel is a one on one fight between you and another player. You can duel on all the servers. You will fight until the one of you has dropped to 1 HP, and then the duel will end and whoever got the other one to 1 HP first will win. You won’t be killed if you lose a duel, however, if you are fighting near monsters they could finish you off as soon as the duel is over.

PK / PKing:

PK is short for Player Kill. This type of PvP is only viable on PvP servers.You will have a skill called Outlaw, which you can activate, a blue ring will appear around you and everyone else will appear red to you. Only players above level 11 can be Outlaws. You can PK evervone in the world, accept in the save zones.When you PK someone who isn’t an outlaw, you earn 10 infamy points. Infamy does have its disadvantages: 1-100 Infamy:

Stamina goes down faster than normal.

You have a doubled chance to break crystals upon death. (Crystals are slotted buffs)

You are not allowed to use the Stamina Recovery NPC. (Stamina gives you a HP/MP bonus above 100%, and a HP/MP debuff below 25%

101-1000 Infamy:

Stamina goes down much faster than normal.

You have a tripled chance to break crystals upon death.

Attack is decreased by 50%

Defense is decreased by 50%

Movement Speed is decreased by 15%.

You are not allowed to use the Stamina Recovery NPC.

You are not allowed to use the Teleport NPC.

You are not allowed to use the Pegasus/Dragon NPC.

1001+ Infamy:

Stamina goes down much, much faster than normal.

You have a tripled chance to break crystals upon death.

Attack is decreased by 90%

Defense is decreased by 75%

Movement Speed is decreased by 30%.

You are not allowed to use the Stamina Recovery NPC.

You are not allowed to use the Teleport NPC.

You are not allowed to use the Pegasus/Dragon NPC.

The Infamy points are like a reputation. Players can look up to you with fear and respect, or trie te make an “easy” kill. You don’t get rewards for having it.

Penalty’s:

You get a penalty if you kill a players 6+ levels lower than you. These players will now receive the red name of shame and will become outlaws, their punishment will be left up to the community.

You will now earn Infamy Points for killing lower-level players - 60 points for players 6-10 levels lower than you - 120 points for players 11 or more levels lower than you. Note: If a lower level tries to kill you, you will not get Infamy points for defending yourself. The attacker will be marked as an outlaw

If you have even one Infamy Point, you will be labeled an outlaw.

Infamy Points will diminish at a rate of one every five minutes. You can also work them down one at a time by killing monsters equal to your level or higher.

deathmatch

Deathmatches are team battles that can be held anywhere. They do not have the area or zone restrictions that PKs have. Select Deathmatch from the Social menu and organize a custom Team vs Team battle, inviting your friends and/or your enemies. You can even put your money where your mouth is and bet gold and items while battling. The fun part of it is that you could be a max level character wanting to take on 5 other lower level characters, and you can do a 1v5 battle with wagers.

Guild vs Guild:

This is the final and biggest form of PvP in Tera. This pype of PvP is only available on PvP servers. They can only be started by Guild Leaders and can set up different rules for each battle. The war will last 24 hrs or until the winning group/guild gets 2000 points. Killing an enemy player will result in 1 point. Killing an enemy leader/guild leader will result in 20 points. Safe places during the war are towns, villages, camps, and instance entrances/and inside.To start a war you will need to use a item called “Bahar’s War Declaration” (costs 3 million gold at the shop (not yet official), and if your guild gets scared and wants to surrender you will need to buy an item called “Kaia’s Intervention” (costs 300k gold at the shop). You can declare war up to as many as 3 groups/guilds at once, and there is a 24 hr cooldown to declare war on the same guild again.

Battlegrounds

Will be comprised of 5v5, 10v10, and 15v15 instanced fights. Currently under a total revamp, previously standard death match and control point maps.Rewards points for gear and consumables. Guild buffs were also hinted at. We shall see what happens, if it's like other games with battlegrounds there will be 2 teams working towards capping something, defending something or smashing up something before the enemy team.
